The Fort Worth-based airline added two flights — Flight 1989, a nod to Swift’s birth year and, arguably, her most popular album. The flights will take off on Friday, Feb. 9 + Saturday, Feb. 10 from Kansas City to Las Vegas. Following the game, there is also a Flight 87, Kelce’s jersey number, that departs Las Vegas on Monday, Feb. 12.
